I am new to the channel & I have been learning NONSTOP!!! The attention to detail…the high level craftsmanship (color theory included) & the No gimmicks No BS content is well worth every moment spent learning new stitches, techniques & (for me, the self discipline to finish what I started!!!…B4 moving on to something new)😊 This Bag is EVERYTHING!!! My creative cup runneth over… Much gratitude for your time and for sharing your creative genius…
This bag is addictive.... Instant gratification...quick and simple, the color combos are endless. Also, a great stash busting project for leftover yarn. I added a lining, as the cotton yarn holds a quilted thread very nicely. Bravo, Toni, for a fun and easy Summer accessory ❤
Thank you for this tutorial! I’m almost done with my bag. I thought the straps would be complicated, but I really love the look. I’m interested in practicing more tunisian crochet patterns. Thanks for unlocking this new level of crochet for me. 😊
Made this in 1 day & am already picking out colors for my second one. In addition to your craftsmanship, you are an absolute pro at tutorials. 12 out of 10.
Great bag and great tips on closing the centre ring and the corners of the hexagon. Even though I've been crocheting for decades you always teach me something new!
I love this and I am 76 and still learning new things from you, for example, the standing dc when you join the first color change, brilliant. 👍 I'm looking forward to making this.
I have been watching your videos because you are so excited about your projects! Love your use of color and textures of yarn. I am learning a lot but THIS BAG!!!! I am in love with it! I am going to Jamaica in June and I want to make it for me and my friend. Keep inspiring, we need you Queen!😊
I love your channel: style, color palettes, projects...the whole sh'bang.👌I also find your voice very calming. I'm looking forward to making this project!
I made this bag this Memorial Day weekend, in my colours (black, dark and medium blue, grey) and it is so cute! I struggled. Sis, did I struggle! But with Toni's easy to follow instructions and my own determination to finish, I did it.
Not going to lie ..I usually had doing straps but the Tunisian crochet way really made it faster than anyone I've done so far and it's sturdier. I also love how detailed you were. I made this in a couple of days on and off and it came out beautifully. I wish I could share the pic on here.
I have so enjoyed crochet academy so much I've learnt a lot and realised I knew a lot also. But my skills now are so much better thank you so much xxx❤
Outstanding tutorial for a great project! I really appreciated the clear explanations of the mattress stitch and the Tunisian knit stitch, as well as the always excellent camera work.
I’m on my second bag and loving it even more. It works up quick and the color possibilities are endless. Thank you for this (and other) wonderful patterns and tutorial videos.
Standing double's have changed my life :P I never had used that stitch before but i love it! Almost seamless joins. It will be used in a lot more of my projects from now on. Thank you!
Toni you are truly an outstanding teacher! I appreciate your excellent instructions! Going over to buy the pattern because I know I will be making this project 🎉
I never thought about making bags out of motifs, lol. But your design is so adorable, and I can hardly wait to make this. Lots of love and yarny hugs 💗
LOL, wishing I would have watched this before I made the bag. I'm realizing now that I missed a few directions on the written pattern (decreases on the final round of the square motif, and mattress stitch in the back loop only). I can only chalk it up to being an experienced crocheter and getting so into the rhythm of a stitch pattern, I don't read a pattern closely enough. This isn't the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last.
I have so much worsted weight cotton! I'm always looking for great projects and this will definitely go on the list! I think I actually have a loose hexagon too...
24:58 I’ve been working on this bag for a bit. I’m more of a slow crochetter 😂but I’ve finally reached the point of joining the pieces together with the mattress stitch. I’ve attached the first hexagon to the square, but I’m confused on how to work down on attaching the next hexagon. It’s something that’s skipped over in the video and written pattern, and I’m not sure how to go about it. How do I mattress stitch down the next hexagon on the square? Do I need to measure out a new strand of yarn or do I use the same strand of yarn that I was already using for the first half? At what st or ch do I start mattress stitching down the hexagon?😢😭 I’m very confused, any clarification will be greatly appreciated. 😭🙏
Hello Toni, greetings from Germany. I am still working on my first bag. Your instructions are great! The bag looks beautiful! My colors are black, dark grey, light grey and green. But i have a question: i think that it ist easily possible to weave in ends directly by crocheting the next row. This ist something you do not often. But it works very well in this project.
I tried to make this but some how my hexagons were circles lol 😂 I brought the kit the only thing I did right was the square. I don't want to frog it all not sure what I did wrong but it looks like a hot mess! Maybe I was a bit over ambitious might just finish it anyway. Ughh 😮💨
Hi! I have the PDF in my cart. I'd also love to make the mini bag one. The sampler bag. If no pattern, could you please give me a general idea on reducing the pattern? Thanks so much!
Skip all the above! Lol PayPal didn't go through. I'm not asking them...probably tell me I spit on screen instead of clicking! Lol. I got it with shop pay. But u I really do want the mini directions...AND mommy and me patterns are popular now. You could advertise it as that. Hey! I got it for half price? Is there a special? I'd be delighted to pay for mini!
In Round 7 of the square portion it says [dc 11,dec, dc to next ch-2 space]. The dec is the decrease explained at the beginning of the instructions. Hope this helps.
Such a lovely bag to go with the Aruba tunic. There is one path to eternal life and that is Jesus Christ. The wages of sin is death. Turn from sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ. He will grant you eternal life. Bless you!
Lisa, if you click on the little gear icon, you can choose a slower playback speed. But FYI, in my experience crochet tutorial videos like this aren't meant for you to do it at the exact same time without pausing. They're meant to show you how the steps go for you to do at your own pace, following along with the written pattern as Toni said at the beginning. There are parts of the video where Toni sped up certain steps, finished things off-screen, etc. Pausing and rewinding are completely normal and expected.

You are an absolutely incredible teacher Toni. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!

This is an absolute wonderful project! I did just one color and it's still gorgeous!

Love the bag and will definitely make one! Thank you, Toni!
I’m learning on this bag- my first project! I’m loving it even with the learning curve. Thanks for the great instruction. ❤️

Wow that bag so caught my eye. Great colors and beautiful design. You amaze me in so many ways 😊❤
I have so enjoyed crochet academy so much I've learnt a lot and realised I knew a lot also. But my skills now are so much better thank you so much xxx❤
Outstanding tutorial for a great project! I really appreciated the clear explanations of the mattress stitch and the Tunisian knit stitch, as well as the always excellent camera work.
Finally have the time (and correct yarns) to make this. Seaming is my weakness, so this will be a challenge, but I can't wait to start.
Thanks
I’m on my second bag and loving it even more. It works up quick and the color possibilities are endless. Thank you for this (and other) wonderful patterns and tutorial videos.
It makes my heart so happy to hear this! Be sure to tag me when you finish - I'd love to see it :-)
I got the kit off of Lion's site for my birthday & mother's day, I cannot wait to make it!
Hexagons are the bestagons! ❤
YES! Someone put this on a shirt ASAP!!
I love Toni’s work (both crocheting and patterns)!
I love this bag!! You are an excellent teacher! I really enjoyed the video.

It’s so cute! I love it!! My pattern never came with my kit from Lion brand. Will go look for the pattern online somI can get started. Thank you Toni!
Hi! Your pattern should be attached to your original confirmation email from Lion Brand. Take a look :-)
@@TLYarnCrafts let me take a peek. Thank you for responding!
I thought I didn’t get pattern but it was in the e-mail somewhere
Love it 👍👏

That is super cute
Love it!!

Fabulous 😊❤
Hi Tony! I am curious as to why we wouldn’t just start with a magic circle so we could close the hole then start our rounds?
That’s cute
What are the names of the colors you used in the tutorial I love them!!
Love it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! I’ve been wanting to try a bag but I don’t like they way a lot of them look.
I love your pattern. But I think I need to have more written dirrection above. Thank you for sharing.
Hi! I have the PDF in my cart. I'd also love to make the mini bag one. The sampler bag. If no pattern, could you please give me a general idea on reducing the pattern? Thanks so much!
I paid through paypal. Now it wants me to pay thru shop soething. Ugh this isn't just your site---its my whole day!
Well duh not sure my PayPal went through! I truly mean this is NOT my day! Lol. Ill give it an hour or two
Skip all the above! Lol PayPal didn't go through. I'm not asking them...probably tell me I spit on screen instead of clicking! Lol. I got it with shop pay. But u
I really do want the mini directions...AND mommy and me patterns are popular now. You could advertise it as that. Hey! I got it for half price? Is there a special? I'd be delighted to pay for mini!
So excited to make this for a friend.
What colors are you using in the video?
Details on yarn colors and amounts needed here - tlycblog.com/tobago-bag-an-easy-crochet-summer-bag-pattern-made-from-hexagons/
Do you think we can use a paper yarn for this?
can you make this with acrylic yarn and add lining to the inside?
Sure you could!!
Toni, no turquoise?
i noticed that the written patten says to ch 4 but online it says to chain 5, which one is it? please help
What gets me is how i mentally said "hmm I wonder why she didnt do a magic ring" then you immediately said why.
I'm reading your mind lol :-)
Does it use 4 full skeins of each color?
It does not if you're using Lion's Brand 24/7.
I bought the pattern and now I am watching the video. There is no mention of the decrease in the written pattern.
In Round 7 of the square portion it says [dc 11,dec, dc to next ch-2 space]. The dec is the decrease explained at the beginning of the instructions. Hope this helps.
I made 4 rows and isn't tight as yours!
😍🥰❤️🧶😘👍👏👏👏
Such a lovely bag to go with the Aruba tunic.
There is one path to eternal life and that is Jesus Christ. The wages of sin is death. Turn from sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ. He will grant you eternal life. Bless you!
Way too fast... I have to back up many many times.. Please slow down just a bit for us beginners... It is intimidating...

@@_maxgray thank you.. I finally figured it out.. Moving right along now ...
I unfortunately find your tutorials way to fast 😕
You can certainly slow down the video, if that helps. The tutorials are meant more as a guide rather than following me stitch for stitch.
